From 8cd29561031bb58f605fa12ff9fcc7d4b3932ddf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "codeflash-ai[bot]" <148906541+codeflash-ai[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 30 Mar 2026 20:11:35 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Optimize Workload.repeatString MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The original implementation repeatedly concatenated strings in a loop (`result = result + s`), which in Java creates a new String object on every iteration because Strings are immutable, resulting in O(n²) time complexity and ~1.3 seconds spent in that single line (90.9% of total runtime per profiler). The optimized version replaces this with `String.repeat(count)`, a built-in method that preallocates the exact buffer size and performs a single copy operation, reducing total time from 1.43s to 0.0074s—a 520% speedup. The change preserves original behavior by using `String.valueOf(s)` to convert null inputs to the literal string "null" before repeating, and early-returns empty string for non-positive counts. --- .../src/main/java/com/example/Workload.java | 9 +++++---- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/tests/test_languages/fixtures/java_tracer_e2e/src/main/java/com/example/Workload.java b/tests/test_languages/fixtures/java_tracer_e2e/src/main/java/com/example/Workload.java index 7beb2a4ea..8a8c2447a 100644 --- a/tests/test_languages/fixtures/java_tracer_e2e/src/main/java/com/example/Workload.java +++ b/tests/test_languages/fixtures/java_tracer_e2e/src/main/java/com/example/Workload.java @@ -14,11 +14,12 @@ public static int computeSum(int n) { } public static String repeatString(String s, int count) { - String result = ""; - for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) { - result = result + s; + if (count <= 0) { + return ""; } - return result; + // Preserve original behavior where null becomes "null" + String unit = String.valueOf(s); + return unit.repeat(count); } public static List filterEvens(List numbers) {
